So I got some Seafoam... Which hose do I use?

Does anyone have a detailed pic of the engine bay showing the location of the hose neccassary to suck seafoam into the engine? Or at least a very good description would probably suffice. So I put half the container in the engine and half in the oil? Or just pour half it in the gas tank, and half in the oil? then change the oil @ 500 miles later? I searched for this but nothing detailed enough for me to start ripping hoses off the engine...

I did mine last week. 1/3 can in oil, 1/3 through the brake booster hose and 1/3 in the gas tank. The brake booster is the big round/flat resevoir on the dirver's side firewall, just loosen the hose in front and suck up the seafoam SLOWLY while the engine idles.

OK, so perhaps I should have phrased that differently. When I checked last, which was about a week ago, there wasn't enough detailed info for me. I didn't realize in that short of a span of time that a full thread with all the info I needed would be posted. I would have appreciated a direction or link rather than "open your eyes", but thanks just the same.

No hard feelings man, just tired. Sorry to tear into you like that. Now, I just performed a search, and didn't really see anything in the 4th gen forums under Seafoam. Do you remember what day, what forum? Nothing I've seen so far gives me enough visual info to dare try it myself.
